Hanbo Cave.

"Under the witness of the Spring and Autumn Cicada and the Floating Life Butterfly, I, Chen Qing, make this contract with you!"

"I will use my body to nourish yours!"

Chen Qing raised his bleeding index finger and drew the rune of the covenant on the jade altar. The bloodstains spread all over the jade altar, forming a layer of faint fluorescence that enveloped the jade altar.

The fluorescence gradually brightened, and the blood on the surface of the jade altar also seeped into it, as if being sucked into the altar.

An hour passed by, and Chen Qing picked up another spirit stone to replenish his spiritual energy.

Another half hour passed, and the bloodstains were finally completely absorbed. Chen Qing suddenly felt a faint consciousness exploring his body.

Like a curious little fairy, wandering inside the body.

Chen Qing opened the lid of the jade jar and put a piece of soul-transforming fragment into it.

A green insect the size of a soybean slowly crawled up and began to gnaw on the spiritual fragments.

The green bug looks a bit like a caterpillar, but more like a grub in driftwood. It is tender and soft, like a living jade silkworm.

Chen Qing stretched out his hand, and the Grass Spirit Gu crawled up and gradually merged into his body.

The feeling is a bit special. I can feel that there is an extra consciousness in the Niwan Palace, but this consciousness is very weak and feeble.

This consciousness is completely open to oneself, as if transparent, and has no special thoughts.

Eat, sleep, work.

Simple thinking, nothing more.

It's clean.

After feeding Ling Tu, Chen Qing clearly saw some changes on the panel.

[Ordinary Grass Spirit Gu]

Quality: Seventh turn

Lifespan: 42/65

Effect: Take care of the Gu Ling grass within a five-acre area and increase its growth rate and quality

Growth requirements: Earth Spirit Crystal, Rehmannia ochre, Spiritual Transformation

Growth rate: 11/100

Promotion requirements: 9th turn, 10 drops of Mother Earth Spirit Liquid, 1 Soul-stealing Flower

Did the growth progress increase as soon as it was eaten?

Chen Qing took out another coin of Rehmannia glutinosa and threw it in. The Grass Spirit Gu climbed up, took a small bite, but stopped eating.

"I think he's full."

The little guy currently has no intention of eating, and does not have a strong desire to sleep. Instead, he really wants to go out to work.

That makes sense. After the sect caught it, they sealed it in a jade altar and let it sleep. It must have slept for too long.

Chen Qing stretched out his fingers and rubbed it; it felt soft.

"What a hard-working little fellow."

"From now on, we will depend on each other."

The next morning, Chen Qing looked at the changes in the Grass Spirit Gu again and found that the growth progress had increased from 11 to 18.

It should have been digested. It seems that one soul metamorphosis can increase the growth progress by 8 points.

After trying the spiritual transformation, Chen Qing picked up the remaining one coin of Rehmannia glutinosa from yesterday and started feeding the Grass Spirit Gu.

Someone rang the bell outside the cave. Chen Qing opened the door and saw Li He, who also lived at the foot of the mountain.

He came with a small pot of wine and a bag of roast goose, and congratulated him as soon as he saw him: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I heard that you chose a grass spirit Gu?"

Chen Qing spread out his hands, a green fluorescent light lit up, and the Grass Spirit Gu rolled over in his hands.

"Oh, that's the little guy."

Grass Spirit Gu is not really a secret. It will be recorded in the sect's receipt records. It is almost an open secret and not worth hiding.

In fact, Chen Qing hopes that as many people as possible will know about it.

After all, this is a productive poisonous insect. If he wants to find a job, he needs to let as many people know about it as possible.

The wine that Li He brought was spiritual wine, which could help improve one's cultivation and consolidate one's cultivation after drinking it.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

After drinking some wine and roast goose, Li He explained his purpose, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I need your help with my three acres of spiritual farmland. Many of the Gu spiritual grasses are turning yellow now."

Chen Qing agreed generously, "Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."

Li He achieved his purpose and smiled happily, "Fellow Daoist Chen, when I first heard that you were at the third level of Qi Refining, I was afraid that you had chosen some kind of fighting insect."

He whispered, "Have you heard that Senior Sister Li at the foot of the mountain has fallen?"

Chen Qing was slightly surprised. "Senior Sister Li is a master at the fifth level of Qi Refining. She had two poisonous insects, and both of them died?"

Li He shook his head sadly, "Who says it's not true? If we go out on an adventure, there are not only wild beasts and poisonous creatures, but also monsters."

He spoke more carefully, "Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable."

"Staying in Wuyou Mountain is safer. Everyone knows exactly what happened to each family."

"So no one dared to do it openly."

"But once you leave the Wuyou Mountain area, it won't be that easy."

Chen Qing drank leisurely and realized once again the dangers of this world.

If you go out to the fifth level of Qi Refining, you can't come back. I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining, and I'm still a Grass Spirit Gu. I'd better not go out and seek death.

Being alive is better than anything else.

Moreover, one must hold on to the sect's support. I heard that the life of a free cultivator outside is even more difficult.

The next morning, Chen Qing got up early and came to the spiritual plant garden. He asked the boy to report to the spiritual plant elder and explained his purpose.

"Elder, I already have the Grass Spirit Gu, and I came here specially to take care of the spiritual field."

Elder Lingzhi looked to be in his seventies, with bright eyes. "You are a sensible person. As soon as you have the ability, you contribute to the sect as soon as possible."

The reason why it is called a contribution is that only half of the spirit stones are used to manage the sect's spiritual fields, and the other half is converted into contribution points.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "This is what our disciples should do."

Hearing this, the Spiritual Plant Elder snorted coldly, "Humph, there are always some people who don't know how to live or die. Once they get the Gu worm, they forget the height of heaven and earth and go out to fight to the death!"

It seems that Elder Lingzhi is very disgusted with practitioners who choose the path of fighting.

Come to think of it, he had just reached the third level of Qi Refining and could be of some use to the sect, but he ended up leaving and never coming back.

Not only did he lose his life, but he also lost the sect's poisonous insect.

The Spiritual Plant Elder seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He asked the boy to take Chen Qing to the spiritual field, and then he left with a wave of his sleeves.

Chen Qing took out a bag of candied fruit from his arms and handed it to the boy.

The boy didn't dare to take it at first, but Chen Qing said that he was no longer old enough to eat this, and the boy was greedy, so he accepted it.

After accepting this, he started talking, "Brother Chen, let me tell you, the reason why the elder is so angry is because of his granddaughter."

Chen Qing asked: "Is this true?"

The spirit boy said: "The elder's granddaughter is a sword cultivator and has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining."

The boy stopped talking here and said no more.

Chen Qing nodded secretly, roughly understanding the reason.

I guess it's just that the child's wishes and the parents' ideas don't match up to some bullshit.

Walking into the spiritual field, Chen Qing selected two acres of land that looked like it was not green, wanting to test the ability of his grass spiritual Gu.

The grass spirit Gu flew out from between his fingers and immersed in the spirit field, just like diving into the water.

Feeling that the Grass Spirit Gu was working on its own, Chen Qing watched it for a while and set a range for it.

The spiritual energy in the body began to slowly decrease. It was the grass spirit Gu that was absorbing the spiritual energy in the body.

The Grass Spirit Gu was moving back and forth in the spiritual field. Chen Qing had no idea what it was doing. After observing it for a while, he still couldn't figure out what it was doing, so he simply gave up.

The only thing that can be seen is that this little guy has a very high enthusiasm for work!

He must have stayed in the Jade Altar for too long, and woke up from his long sleep to feel the joy of the whole world again.

With nothing to do, Chen Qing simply sat on the ground and began to meditate and practice.

An hour later, the Grass Spirit Gu flew back to Chen Qing again and merged into Chen Qing's body.

Chen Qing stood up and took a look at the Gu Ling grass in the spiritual field. It could be seen that it was better than before.

Although the changes cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, from the perspective of inspiration, this area, which was lifeless before, has now become full of vitality.

After finishing his work, Chen Qing received a low-grade spirit stone and some contribution points, and prepared to go home. After having dinner, he went to Li He's place.

It was already afternoon when I returned from Li He's place. I had only been in this world for a year and did not have many friends. Apart from meditating, there was nothing else I could do.

Now that he had the Grass Spirit Gu, Chen Qing weighed the three low-grade Spirit Stones in his hand and said, "Why not expand our business today?"

"Well, let's go to Mingyue Tower to listen to music. There are many people there!"

"No one knows I have Grass Spirit Gu, how can I get work?"

"I, Chen Qing, am not a prodigal son who spends money recklessly and listens to music in brothels all day long."

"It's all about living."
